| Craig in his studio |
Craig sent some photos of his new 'dogwood marquetry buffet', so I'll focus this post on Craig's dogwood theme. It's a good example of marquetry's affinity for natural imagery. In a recent post - Craig Thibodeau's Art Deco Chess Table - I presented some of his Art Deco pieces. Silas Kopf was originally attracted to marquetry by the Art Nouveau floral designs of Galle and Majorelle. Craig took a course from Paul Schurch, another master at enhancing furniture designs with natural marquetry imagery. Like Silas and Paul, Craig is constantly expanding his marquetry and furniture design vocabulary while developing his own unique look.

Here are the pictures of this impressive dogwood marquetry buffet. I've added some images of Craig's other dogwood embellished furniture pieces, as well as one gardenia themed sideboard and mirror. Marquetry can morph into an endless variety of themes and shapes.
Gradually a complete view of Craig's profile and portfolio will coalesce into the MiArtStudio gallery.
